A Mother is someone who is awake at night worrying when you are going through a tough time. Whether you are a toddler with a bad cold, a 16 year old girl with a broken heart, or a 25 year old woman struggling with a career decision. She’s used to not getting much sleep.

A Mother is someone who cries when she reads your cards.

A Mother is someone who misses you when you are not around. She reads your blog, calls you, and emails you. She even learns how to use Twitter and Skype just so she can be more connected. (still working on the texting, but we’ll get there!)

A Mother is someone who takes a picture of a recipe that she made because she knows you will be proud.

A Mother is someone who gives you the last piece of cake and exclaims that she ‘isn’t hungry’ after all.

A Daughter is someone who thinks her Mom deserves to eat more cake.

Thankfully, Mother’s are forgiving because this recipe I planned to share with you yesterday did not taste good!

I have a feeling that if I could be with my mom today, she would love this cake anyways.

Aweeee Ange, you made me tear up!!! Mothers are ALL of those things, and so much more. During my terrible teenage years, I never understood the love of a mother until the time came for me to realize that I will be leaving in the fall. Even through everyday fights, it is not easy to see how much love we have for one another, but today especially I am trying to show her that<3

Soo lovely post Angela! Your mother is such a pretty lady :) I was the same as Katelyn stated above – in my teenage years, I was kind of a brat who never really understood how important the mother-daughter relationship was! Fortunetelly I am much clever now:)

Been reading your blog for a while and loving it! But this post was the first one that made me cry…The way you describe your mum is beautiful and reminds me of my own mum. Unfortunately she isn’t amongst us anymore but i’m sure my loving memory of her will never be gone. Thanks for your beautiful post :)

Not sure if you’re ever thinking of becoming a mother but if you are, omg lookout, you are going to be amazing.

That pic of you and your mom is just…beautiful. I only hope one day that my daughter loves me the way you love your mom.

She IS the child of a food blogger tho b/c she asked hubs to dictate a mother’s day card for me that I just opened and it thanked me for always making her yummy yummy snacks and that makes me an awesome mom. She’s 4. And it’s all about the yummy snacks apparently :)

I have tears in my eyes! I just sent this to my mother – I am far away from her in France and your words expressed exactly how I feel! I am also finishing off a huge plate of your tahini avocado chickpea salad which may just possibly be the greatest lunch ever invented in history. So merci beaucoup! Wishing you and your Mom a fabulous Mother’s Day!

What a sweet post your momma must be so proud! I live in a different province from my momma too! Hehe I love when they figure out new “technology” to stay connected! Happy Mother’s Day!! (you are momma to Sketchie after all) :-)

This is such a lovely post Ange, you’ve actually given me chills! Maybe it’s also to do with the fact that I’m drinking a very cold green monster at the same time….. ;) Happy Mother’s Day to OSGMOM (who sounds like an amazing lady), my mom, and all the other moms out there! :)

This is a really beautiful post! Sometimes what our mums do for us goes unnoticed and taken for granted. I feel the exact same way towards my mum! I’ll try to show her my appreciation a bit more not only today but everyday. She deserves it :]

I love this post too… My Mom is someone who loves me for me- faults and all. Sometimes I push it, sometimes she pushes it. But she’s my best friend- through thick and thin… very thin…! We give our Mom’s more grief than we could ever wish to admit, but also hold more love than can ever express xxxx

Angela, this post is darling. I can see you got that gorgeous glowing skin form your momma. Love what you say here…all of it so true!
